Players can access the Cloaked Station one time for every Deactivated Beacon item that they find. Beacons can be found in any regular level in the game, and tend to appear more often if the player hasn’t visited the Cloaked Station recently.

You must enhance a crew member within the Crew Lounge to raise its level cap. This requires you to have 100 Star Dust of that crew member’s particular color. You gain Star Dust by converting your unwanted crew members. The dust gained is dependent on the rarity of your crew member. Keep expanding and leveling your crew to support the AlphaCat!

Players can complete missions by performing various in-game tasks, such as clearing certain objective types or finding treasure. Every day, players are given three tasks. Completing any task will give the player a reward, and completing all three awards a Completion Bonus. The missions are available for 24 hours, or until the player completes all three of them. Once either condition has been fulfilled, the player receives three new missions.

Basic abilities are used automatically by your crew members in battle. If you make a board match that is the same color as your crew members, then all corresponding crew members use their basic abilities!

Active abilities are displayed in the upper-left corner of each crew member during battle. Active abilities have a cooldown period, and each time the player makes a match on the board (a.k.a. “turn”), the timer is reduced by one. Once the ability is ready, you can drag the ability to its intended target.

Some abilities can only target enemies

Some abilities can only be used on your crew members/captain

Other abilities allow you to change the game board tiles!

Pro tip: Matching 7 or more purple tiles in one turn will reduce the cooldown of your crew member’s active ability even faster!

Hasten: Match 7 or more purple tiles to give your whole party a power buff! In addition, 2 turns are immediately taken off your crew member’s active ability timers! These effects are greater for every 7 tiles matched!

Rocket Blast: Match 7 or more red tiles to attack all enemies on screen! Your selected enemy will receive full damage, while all others will receive a smaller amount. The number of attacks made is increased every 7 tiles matched!

Once you join an invasion, you’ll notice you have 3 teleporters. It takes 1 teleporter to enter an invasion fight. Once you’ve come back from an invasion fight, there is a short timer that prevents you from immediately entering the fight again (even if you have a teleporter). In addition, teleporters regenerate at a rate of 1 per hour.

If you have lost connection during patching, you will need to make sure that you have a stable WIFI or mobile data connection. You can check your WIFI by going into your settings to ensure you are connected to the internet.
